Band rail claim remains priority

RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

LISA VANDERVELDE/MORNING STAR

Owners of Pacific Top Team Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Dave Rothwell (top) and John Davies demonstrate a defence tactic at the 2015 RCMP Jean Minguy Memorial Youth Academy Wednesday at the DND grounds. Pacific Top Team of Vernon volunteered to teach the 33 students during the week-long academy.

Star makes top three in awards Morning Star Staff

The Morning Star was bronzed at the annual Ma Murray B.C. Yukon Community Newspaper Association awards in Richmond. For the second time in three years, with a second-place finish sandwiched in between, The Morning Star finished third in the Newspaper Excellence Award for the highest circulation category in the province. “Top-three in the province, against a lot of big, strong papers, is tremendous recognition for the work our entire staff does every week,” said Morning Star publisher Ian Jensen. “To finish in the top three, again, as the

best newspaper for our circulation in B.C., is very rewarding.” Said the judges: “The Morning Star is a clean, easy-to-read, solid community newspaper. Readers are greeted with excellent production quality, and thoughtful news selection and ad placement. “In addition to its pleasing layout and look, the front page is refreshing in its ability to present a fully realized story without it needing to be continued elsewhere.” The Morning Star finished with a total of 79.83 points (out of 100) in the judging, one full point behind the second-place winner, Surrey Now,

and more than three points ahead of the fourth-place paper, the Vancouver Courier. “What really set The Morning Star apart is its strong editorial page and feature news stories,” said the judges. “Arts and sports coverage is thorough and wide ranging, and the classifieds section is being incredibly well-used by the community. Fantastic.” Kamloops This Week topped the division with a score of 85. The Morning Star recently won a second-place honour for Best Holiday Edition for its circulation category in the Canadian Community Newspaper Association’s annual awards.

Okanagan Indian Band members remain firm despite strong public support for a rail trail. Chief Byron Louis says the band won’t back off a notice of claim in the B.C. Supreme Court despite a majority of Lake Country residents agreeing to purchase the Canadian National rail line as part of a plan for a public corridor from Coldstream to Kelowna. “The only alternative we have is moving ahead with the court case,” said Louis. “There’s been a lack of support by the federal government to settle this.” The Commonage Indian reserve, which includes part of the rail corridor, was created in 1877, but the band says federal and provincial officials eliminated the reserve a decade later. The band asserts that when a portion of the corridor ceased to be used for railway purposes, it should have reverted to band control instead of CN selling the property to the Regional District of North Okanagan, Lake Country and Kelowna. While local jurisdictions are named in the court action, Louis believes municipalities and regional districts could rally around the band. “Local communities could be very instrumental in resolving these issues,” he said. “They could tell the

“Injustice is injustice.” — Byron Louis

federal government to, ‘Get on with it.’” Louis would also like to see local residents become more interested in the issue because he says it boils down to one of basic property rights. “People have to wake up to the fact that if this can be done to us, what’s stopping it from happening to them?” he said. Despite the Lake Country referendum results and broad support in other communities for a rail trail, Louis says he feels no pressure to back away from the band’s interests. “For us, injustice is injustice. We believe we are in the right,” he said.

Harley Davidson Road King motorcycle. Provincial coroner Margaret Janzen said in her reports that Bryan Tycko Thor, 57, the driver of the motorcycle, and his passenger, his wife, Carol Joyce Thor, 61, died of multiple blunt force trauma after an incident shortly after 9 p.m. on April 13, 2014. Janzen also said a toxicology exam on the driver of the bike showed an alcohol level of .14 per cent, consistent with a moderate level of intoxication, as well as a non-lethal amount of cocaine. “Intoxication with ethyl alcohol and cocaine was considered to be contributory (to the accident),” said Janzen, who classified the Thors’ deaths as accidental and made no recommendations.

Weather conditions at the time of the accident were described as calm, with temperatures between 4-to-6 degrees Celsius. “Twilight was turning to dark with clear, moonlit skies,” said Janzen. “The road surface was clean, dry pavement in good repair.” The driver of the SUV was issued two Motor Vehicle Act violations for driving without due care and attention and unsafe passing on the left.

City rejects boundary process RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Vernon officials insist there are no further rules needed to determine the border with rural areas. On Monday, city council declined to work with the Regional District of North Okanagan to develop a municipal boundary extension Bob Spiers protocol agreement. “We have our own agreement with the regional district now

and to redo it in their terms, I’m not sure that’s what the city wants to do,” said Mayor Akbal Mund. “We have an agreement so why do we need to change it because they want to change it?” According to the city, the regional growth strategy already provides a commonly agreed upon framework for regional growth management and Vernon’s official community plan also addresses the boundary issue. “We have a protocol and we’re quite happy with it,” said Coun. Bob Spiers. Council’s decision was based on a staff recommendation. “Participating in what could be a long,

time-consuming and expensive process to develop a boundary extension protocol agreement does not appear desirable,” said Kim Flick, director of community development. Mike Macnabb, RDNO director, isn’t pleased with the city’s response. “We were hoping for a more formal approach and part of that approach would be to look at the financial implications for both parties. They could educate their residents on what they are taking on (with annexation),” said Macnabb. “If we could come up with an agreement, we could provide certainty for planning for 15 or 20 years out.”

More aboriginal students finishing school Morning Star Staff

Aboriginal student completion rates in the Vernon School District are at a six-year high. The completion rate for aboriginal students over the last six years has been 71 per cent. The provincial rate is 61 per cent. “It has been 100 years since OKIB member Harry Harris became the first member to attend public high school in Vernon,” said Byron Louis, Okanagan Indian Band chief. “I’m so pleased to see more and more of our young people walk across that graduation stage and on to the next stage of their lives. We honour the hard work of our students, their families and thank all of their teachers and support staff.” School district officials are also pleased with the outcome. “We value the work done by our aboriginal education department and our students and their families,” said Kelly Smith, board chairperson. “By working together, we look ahead to a higher completion rate this year.” Another partner in promoting education is the First Nations Friendship Centre, which represents the urban aboriginal population. “We celebrate the work of all involved with helping, guiding, teaching and supporting aboriginal students to succeed in the

Vernon School District and most importantly, the aboriginal students

themselves for their hard work and efforts to overcome any barri-

ers they may have had to, in order to achieve graduation,” said Chris

Davies, First Nations Friendship Centre president.

Humbled bees

he day is coming when The Morning Star Word Nerds are going to win the annual Junction Literacy Centre/Teen Junction Centre Adult Spelling Bee. When that day happens, the remembrance of past Word Nerd bee failures will be infinitesimal. Some of the regular opponents of the Word Nerds can put kinnikinnick in their pipes and smoke it, knowing they’ve finally been bested by the local wordsmiths. And, for others, the day The Word Nerds capture the championship gift cards from Bookland is a sign Roger Knox Armageddon is nigh. The Morning Star Word Nerds finished second, for the third time in four years, at this year’s eighth annual bee, held Wednesday morning at the Best Western Plus Vernon Lodge Hotel. (The Nerds consist of me, managing editor Glenn Mitchell, lifestyles editor and team captain Katherine (Morty) Mortimer; reporter Jennifer Smith; entertainment editor Kristin Froneman; creatives Lisa Starke and Brenda Giesbrecht and second-year import, Fulton Secondary English teacher Jane Maskell – hey, she delivered a paper for us once.) We ended up in a three-way tie with the three-time bee champion Queen Beez, and a team called the Bolden Agers. We all had 12 out of 15 correct in the event, which features three rounds of five words. We all finished one word behind the repeat champion Okanagan College Eggheads. The words in bold, above, are the words the Nerds got wrong. “It was a valiant try,” said Mitchell. Of course, Glenn uttered those immortal words BEFORE the third and final round. Our fate, it seems, was sealed in round two, when we got aficionado, diaspora and pterodactyl correct. We thought we had Armageddon right,

AT RANDOM

and we did in theory. But we spelled it armageddon, ignoring the advice of Smith who suggested we capitalize it, which is the correct way to spell the word. And we had two versions of infinitesimal – the correct one, and one which included an extra S. Morty was talked into the incorrect version. In the opening round, the Word Nerds were perfect, rattling off erudite, idyllic, risotto, pseudonym and, surely the longest word in Adult Spelling Bee history, beautifully pronounced by MC Beekeeper Betty Selin of Sun-FM, hemidemisemiquaver. You don’t have to know what the words mean in this event (hemidemisemiquaver is a musical note with the time value of half a semiquaver; a sixty-fourth note). You just have to know how to spell it. In the third and final round, I had no idea what kinnikinnick, schottische and zabaglione were, let alone how to even remotely spell them. But my teammates did. The only one we got wrong was kinnikinnick, only because I think we had just three Ns. We did get pharmaceutical and, as Morty exclaimed, “Oh, this is easy,” bourgeoisie. The spelling bee brings together teams of eight (23 teams this year) that dress in costumes and call themselves brilliant names such as the Vowel Movements, Kal Tire Auto Corrects and RBC Spell Chequers. The Vernon School District team was dressed as pigs to support the Junction Literacy Centre’s new Loonies for Literacy program, whose logo is a piggy bank. Most important, the event raises funds for the literacy centre, Teen Junction and all of its wonderful and much needed programs. This year’s bee raised a record $28,000plus. Organizers this year situated our team between the Queen Beez and Eggheads, maybe hoping good luck would come our way, or bad luck would befall those teams. Organizers say there’s room for five more teams for next year’s bee. The Word Nerds will be back. Somebody has to crack the Eggheads.

The potential winner of a $50 million lottery ticket that was sold in Langley in March, 2014 wants to stay anonymous. That’s according to an anonymous source who spoke to a Vancouver newspaper. The source went on to say that the ticket holder (who isn’t the lottery winner yet, as B.C. Lottery Corporation says it is still conducting an investigation of all circumstances around the winning ticket) has retained a lawyer and will be fighting in court for the right to remain anonymous. Word of this desire for anonymity fits in with the other circumstances around this ticket. Despite many pleas, the potential winner only came forward a few days before the oneyear deadline to redeem the prize. The news that the apparent holder of a $50 million winning ticket wants to be anonymous has naturally started lots of conversations. Most people may not be aware that claiming a lottery prize comes with the proviso that the BCLC has the right to take the winner’s photo and publicize the win. While BCLC says this protects the integrity of the process, which it does, it also helps to promote the idea that winning big is possible. It perpetuates the sales pitch that “dreams can come true” simply by buying a lottery ticket. Advertising promoting that idea does not include the actual odds of winning a big prize, which are infinitesimal. Very few lotteries run by provinces or states in North America allow for anonymity, although a few do. BCLC has granted anonymity itself in the past, but only in very rare and exceptional circumstances. It will be interesting to see if the holder of this potentially winning ticket does manage to preserve his or her anonymity. If that does happen as a result of a court decision, it may force BCLC and, quite likely other Canadian lottery corporations, to change their longstanding rules about who can actually win a prize. — Black Press

Long-term benefits are the key

number of years ago, I wrote a letter to this paper's editor and then-council members about Kin Race Track. It went something like this. The city should approach KRT, offer to resettle its operation with financial assistance, develop said site, similar to Kamloops, McArthur Island Park sports complex, including a first-class track and field facility which we now know has gone way over budget on a $7.5 million investment. Not to point out that it's in the wrong location. Most Vernonites did not support this endeavor. The bulk carrying the vote was outside the city. That's another story. Back to my point. About five years ago, Al McNiven, now retired, and his team at Regional District of North Okanagan created a couple displays showing very comprehensive usage of Kin Race Track. If memory serves me, it incorporated track and field, soccer fields, a BMX track, a gymnastic facility, ball fields, another ice sheet and other attributes. I believe the city is going to face an uphill battle over a second sheet of ice at

RESOURCES REQUIRED Congratulations are in order to the Interior Health Authority. After seven long years, the tuberculosis outbreak in Kelowna has ended. It started in 2008 with one person with regular TB. Kelowna doctor Sue Pollock, said, “They (TB outbreaks) typically last several years and require a tremendous amount of resources and community coordination to bring under control." About 2,400 people were screened for infectious TB and 52 people were treated. Upgrades to hospital isolation wards and updates to staff training and clinical support tools were needed. Medical health officers and communicable disease workers worked closely with community outreach services, including street nurses, shelters and community agencies. It cost B.C. taxpayers millions — all from one case of regular TB. We are on the verge of a global epidemic. The key is early detection and treatment for every single case everywhere. Failure is unthinkable. Canadian funded TB Reach is a phenomenally successful program for finding TB in the hardest to reach places in the world. The Harper government has not renewed the

Kal Tire Place. By the way, I coach hockey and still play. I would like nothing better than a second sheet at this location similar to the two ice surfaces in Salmon Arm's side-by-side venues. I even noted to then-councillors that I would welcome a tax increase on my home to move KRT and develop said site into a multi-sports complex. funding. We simply can’t afford to let this program expire. To stop tiny, Kelowna-size outbreaks all across Canada, we need to stop outbreaks everywhere. Please help. Contact your MP and your federal election candidates and write letters to your newspapers. Tell everyone that you want TB taken seriously and to fund TB Reach. We still have a chance to prevent a global TB epidemic and prevent budgetbusting outbreaks all across Canada. Leo Joy DEAR PET OWNERS The SPCA warns pet owners to never leave their pets unattended outdoors, yet there are so many pet owners who take chances that their pet will not be one of the unfortunate ones who are taken or mauled by coyotes. We do live in the mountains where coyotes roam everywhere. You may not ever see them but it's probably because you're still in bed. They roam in the late and very early hours of the day and in some places, all day and night like in the Lower Mainland. I lived in the Lower Mainland and unfortunately my cat got taken and, of course, I blamed myself not the coyotes. It was an

Now we find ourselves confronted with the art gallery and museum scrambling for additional funds which could conflict with money for the new ice surface. A suggestion is to kill three birds with one stone, actually four. Pursue a fair settlement with KRT and pitch the community on having the art gallery and museum incorporated into the master sports comoutdoor cat or so it liked to think it was, and like every other day, I let her out to do her business. One of those days, she never returned and I cried for weeks on end hoping someone had just picked her up. I had to come to the realization that the neighbourhood coyotes had taken her. I only had myself to blame for that and it took me years to forgive myself. But I did learn a huge lesson. I encourage all pet owners to either have a complete enclosure for your pets to remain outdoors. I do not mean a fence I mean a total enclosure, like the safe enclosures that the SPCA keeps their cats and dogs in outside. If you can't do that, then it's up to you to remain outdoors with your cat or dog until they have had their time to do what it is they needed to do and then leave them indoors, and I mean all size of dogs. I've seen neighbours who leave their large dogs tied up on the back deck. I guess they think they can manage to fend off coyotes because of the size of their dog. But in reality, it just leaves it easier prey. Coyotes can attack a dog tied up a lot easier. In the end, it's always a tragedy to lose a beloved pet and with that said, to any of

plex plan developing KRT. You have a central location. You have parking. You have nearby shopping and accommodations. You're going to have visitors who are not sports-oriented now having options to visit the gallery and museum if they're not interested in sitting or standing in a sports venue. The horse people will appreciate the city's efforts to help them relocate. Maybe there's an opportunity at O'Keefe Ranch. That's a natural. It also benefits the ranch. This will be a huge investment similar to the performing arts centre and library, and will accommodate all parties. Yes there will be those whose ox is going to be gored. It's the big picture that's important. Those planning need to present the taxpayers with options, costs and most importantly, the long-term benefits for the community for such a huge investment at this time. It's not for us grandparents but our kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. Think long-term benefits. Joe O'Hearn you who have had a pet taken from you, my deepest condolences. Patti Mondor

Moving from a small, quality service organization to a dynamic family-led organization is a unique and exciting venture for North Okanagan Community Life Society. The organization, formed in 1984 after developmentally disabled individuals were de-institutionalized, and provided groups homes and a day centre, announced in October 2014 it would improve the lives of such individuals and help them toward the next step in independence. The official launch of the new plan was made recently at the Vernonbased NOCLS office. “What we’re attempting to do here is brave and it’s bold,” said Darren Bradley, president of the NOCLS board of directors. “The hope we can give people in helping their family members transition is exciting.” In 2004, NOCLS began customized living where individuals were placed in their own homes with support, which closed three group homes. As of Dec. 1, 2014, NOCLS decided to no longer operate a group home or day program, but continued to assist individuals and families. It owns the remain ing group home but it

and activities.” A boost to the transition comes from Janet Klees, an author and executive director of the Durham (Ont.) Association for Family Respite Service. She has been working with NOCLS for five years. Klees said families have the ultimate say and controls about their loved ones as opposed to service providers. “My experience has been that we should never underestimate the capacity of family,” said Klees. “When families are well-informed, they are supported by resources that won’t take over

from them. They are simply there to help understand, learn and grow. “And when families are given opportunities to meet each other and discuss and learn with each other, their capacity is enormous. Their heart is already there. Between capacity and heart, watch out.” A full believer in the family-led dynamic is a man named Sid, who told the gathering at the new NOCLS plan launch that his 48-yearold stepdaugher has been part of his life for the past 26 years, and that she has been with her mother all of her life except for a couple of months when she was in an NOCLS group home. A neurological disorder developed a dozen years ago took away Sid’s stepdaughter’s ability to talk, and any functional use of her arms and legs. “She still has spirit, still has her own personality and we took her home 10 years ago,” said Sid. “We’re very much involved in her care and in her life, and we receive assistance from NOCLS. Being involved in her life is not easy. It’s difficult at times and can be frustrating. “But it absolutely allows you to provide the best opportunities for loved ones, and it does allow you to sleep at night. It’s the best situation for everybody.” More on NOCLS can be found at its website, www.nocls.com.

Coldstream taxes spelled out JENNIFER SMITH Morning Star Staff

Some residents of the Okanagan Indian Reserve are being urged not to drink right out of the tap. Okanagan Indian Band members who are connected to the Bradley Creek and Six Mile Creek water systems are being told to boil their water until further notice. “As we commission the newly installed Bradley Creek system, we’re asking our members to take all precautions,” said Chief Byron Louis. “Our public works director, Eddy Davis, has let us know that the advisory should be lifted in three to four weeks.”

Despite a two per cent tax hike in Coldstream, homeowners will be actually be shelling out more than double that number. The 2015 tax rates bylaw includes a two per cent increase, but it is estimated that the overall tax increase based on the average residential home (assessed at approximately $469,000) will be 4.76 per cent in Coldstream. “It is the total tax increase for all taxing authorities and assessment changes,” said Patrician Higgins, Coldstream’s director of finanPatricia Higgins cial administration. “When we calculate the tax increase for the average residential home, it is a little more complicated than just applying the tax rate increases for the municipal and other taxing authorities.” Although tax revenue required for Coldstream’s 2015 budget is a two per cent increase (approximately $104,000), this tax increase is spread amongst the total assessment for the district. “We determine a mill rate (dollar amount for every $1,000 of assessment) for each assessment class which is then used to calculate how much taxes the assessment class will contribute,” explains Higgins. “So of the two per cent increase, only a portion is collected from residential property owners with the remainder collected from other assessment classes (ie. utilities, industry, business, farm).” For 2015, the average residential property

assessment calculated is also higher, approximately five per cent. “Additionally, there was a shift in the light industrial and business assessment classes in 2015 which resulted in the residential property owners having to contribute a little more to the overall taxes,” said Higgins. “So the 4.76 per cent is a combination of the proportionate share of the tax increases for taxing authorities, plus assessment changes.”

Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

Moorage and membership are growing in waves both on and off the shores of the Vernon Yacht Club. And in order to meet that demand, the club is continually cooking up ways to expand. The club, which is a non-profit society, started in 1953 with a little more than 30 members. Today, more than 400 members make up the society, ranging from social members to the 280 boat owners who are anchored in the club at the docks. Once a year, the club invites the community to its Boat and Sportsmen Show this Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. That’s where you can check out the many vessels or the parking lot full of vendors, enjoy free sailboat rides, free face painting for the kids and this year, there will be some special Frozen appearances. The whole event is free with a donation to the Salvation Army. When they’re not busy with community events such as this or doing what they love best (spending time out on the water), the Vernon Yacht Club boasts a healthy social atmosphere, bringing fellow sailors, captains and co-pilots together on land. Much of that activity revolves around food — from Sunday brunch to burgers every Wednesday after the sailing race. “Our really busy nights are Friday nights, that’s our steak night,” said Craig Williams, rear commodore among the club officers. “We’ll still get 50 to 60 in the winter and in the summer we’ll get 100 or more.” The days of firing up the barbecue and grilling your own steak are gone as the membership has swollen. But so too has the capacity in the kitchen. Corinne Kirton, kitchen manager, does a fabulous job of meeting the demand. But inching around counters, a giant dishwasher and stacks of dishes isn’t ideal in the 200-square-foot space. “It’s very, very tight,” said Williams.

“Our really busy nights are Friday nights, that’s our steak night.” — Craig Williams

Ss a result, the club is currently more than doubling the small space with a $90,000 expansion. Adding on another 325-square-feet will not only give Kirton more elbow room, it will allow the club to move its ice machine and three upright freezers from the basement up to where they belong in the kitchen. “Right now, Corinne has to run up and down those stairs to get her supplies,” said Williams. “It’s very inefficient.” Needless to say, Kirton is quite excited about the additional space, which will also make her job easier. And it allows the club to further serve its memberships growing needs. “The days of back in the ‘70s of people just waiting to come have a beer are done, now they want to eat.” Plus more and more social members are coming on board to benefit from all the club has to offer. The club is also looking at redoing its breakwater, an expensive venture ($1 million), but worth it to protect all the vessels. “We get some good storms throughout the year,” said Williams, noting the club’s exposure out in the lake. In addition, the club is, and continues, to replace fingers on the docks – taking out old wooden planks and replacing them with cement fingers. To find out more about the Vernon Yacht Club, check out the Boat and Sportsmen Show Saturday and Sunday. There will be free parking and shuttles to and from Marshall Field for the family-fun event.

College’s Kelowna campus will host nearly 90 of the brightest high school mathematicians from 15 schools in the region for the annual contest. Competing in either of two categories – juniors (Grade 8 to 10) and seniors (Grade 11 and 12) – students have the morning to complete multiple choice and long hand questions that will test their logic and mathematical skills. Adding a level of challenge is the fact that no calculators are allowed. At an afternoon awards ceremony, the top senior student will be awarded a one-semester tuition scholarship to either Okanagan College or UBC Okanagan (cosponsor of the contest), to a maximum value of $3,000. Top finishers in each category also earn prizes ranging from $50 to $200. “It’s important for students to have an opportunity to be recognized for their achievements in math, and to see the community engage in the conversation,” said Lee.

Vernon Community Singers is a choir of about 140 members from around the North Okanagan. Members share their love of music and community spirit in many ways, including using funds raised from concerts to support community service organizations and groups in the Vernon area. The singers also provide scholarships and financial assistance for non-profit community groups that involve music or education and learning.

The choir has two sessions per year: fallwinter and winterspring, with entry points for new members in September and January. No audition or experience is necessary, just a love of singing.

Armstrong work right on schedule ROGER KNOX Morning Star Staff

Work on the Okanagan Street capital project in Armstrong is progressing nicely and ahead of time. “Most underground utilities are complete with the exception of the water main at the railway crossing and Pleasant Valley Boulevard,” said Tim Perepolkin, the city’s public works manager. Curbs are complete on the north section between Pleasant Valley and Wood Avenue. Existing sidewalk canopies adjacent to the construction are being temporarily supported with bracing to allow new curbs and sidewalks to be put in.

Kozak helps Thunderbirds share 2nd Morning Star Staff

The UBC Thunderbirds men’s golf team finished in a tie for second at the Association of Independent Institutions (AII) conference championship, Tuesday in Victoria, Texas. After two rounds of 4-over 292

www.vernonmorningstar.com

Monday, the Thunderbirds recorded a final-round 7-over 295 to finish at 15-over 879. California State University-San Marcos won the tournament by three strokes over UBC and Ashford University. Scott Secord (Calgary) shot a finalround 1-under 71 to take third place in

the individual competition at 1-under 215. Defending AII individual medallist Conner Kozak (Vernon) and Evan Holmes (Calgary) were both sixth at 4-over 220. Holmes had a 1-over 73 on Tuesday while Kozak shot a 4-over 76.

Unofficially, Armstrong high jumper Trinity Hansma set a new Okanagan Valley high school mark at the Battle of the Border track meet in Kamloops. It’s not an official record, though, as Hansma’s leap of 170 metres in the junior girls division did not occur at the Okanagan Valley finals. Hansma, from Pleasant Valley Secondary School, was one of a number of Vernon AAA Track Club members competing at a meet featuring more than 400 participants from B.C. and Alberta. Trinity Hansma “Although the high school valley records have to be done at the Okanagan Valley championships to count as records, the Okanagan Valley high jump record for junior girls is 163, and for senior girls it’s 165,” said PVSS and Vernon AAA coach Ian Cameron of Hansma’s accomplishment. “That junior record is 25 years old. The senior record has been done twice, in 1983 and 1998. For a 14-year-old, 170 is quite an accomplishment.” Hansma also won the junior girls long jump and was fifth out of 40 in the 100-metre spring. PVSS teammate Candice Vuong was third in the junior girls long jump. Other Vernon AAA Club results: GRADE 8 GIRLS Jayda Ostoforoff (Len Wood Middle School, Armstrong), first in 100m (13.47 sec.), second in 80m hurdles, fourth in long jump; Josie Sexsmith, (Charles Bloom), first in javelin, second in shot put; Sarah Holman (Len Wood) third in high jump. JUNIOR GIRLS Czarina Wisse (VSS), third in high jump; Claire Oordt-Bosman (Vernon Christian), fifth in 200m. JUNIOR BOYS Brenden Boyd (Seaton), sixth in 800m; SENIOR GIRLS Desiree Gosselin (Seaton), 10th in the 200m. SENIOR BOYS Jared Sexsmith (Bloom), second in high jump with a jump of 1.88m, a new personal best; Joey Kohut (Fulton), third in the 3,000m, fifth in the 800m, sixth in the 1,500m; Liam McGrath (Seaton), seventh in the 800m. Jacquelyn Kolotylo of A.L. Fortune won the junior girls javelin while Kendel Rogers of Vernon Secondary won the junior girls pole vault. Seaton’s Annika Ariana was second and her twin sister Natalya third in the Grade 8 girls 1,500m. Braden Kersey of Seaton was second in the Grade 8 boys race.

Blue Skittles sweeter Morning Star Staff

The Blue Skittles squeaked past the Maroon Marshmallows 3-2 in a U9 girls youth soccer thriller Saturday at Creekside Park. Skittle speedsters Aida Dempsey and Sophie Challen both got behind the Marshmallow defence for early chances. Midfielders Fianna Gough and Sierra Allen won balls for the Skittles with non-stop hustle. In the dying seconds of the first half, Sidney Headington broke into the clear and gave the Marshmallows a one-goal cushion. Early in the second, the Skittles scuttled the Maroon lead as Jasmine Soon tapped the ball to Ava Wood in the goal area, and she flicked home the equalizer. Seven minutes later, Ava Wood took control of a Marshmallow throw-in, bounded into the box, and bagged her second. Headington evened the score, capping a long run with a bomb. The Marshmallows pressed for more, but could not find a way past the determined defensive wall of Erica Lovelace, Kiana Bussiere, and Emmah Pedersen. With time ticking down, Madison Vranesic and Soon went on the offensive. Soon buried her own rebound, and the Skittles ski-daddled with a lastsecond win. Team Red upended the Celtics 2-0 in U13 girls play at Marshall Field. The Celtic defence was outstanding with no breaks for Rachel Richter, Lisa Debeer and Renee Fairgrieve. Star winger Lottie Scott sprinted often to the corner, but was surrounded by Red defenders. Scott managed to feed forwards Adalaide Andow and Jennika Helmle for quality chances. Laren Rollier controlled the midfield . In U18 girls action, Kierra Bootsma scored twice as Young Life edged Kidston & Co. Lawyers 2-1. Destiny Hartgerink and Lakin Harison were tireless and strong in midfield for Young Life. The Polar Bears iced the Cookie Monsters 2-1, in a U12 boys fixture Saturday at Marshall. The Bears capitalized on a 2-on-1 in the 20th minute, with Jace Kisilevich’s strike deflecting in off a blue defender. Monster keeper Tavis Whibley kept his team

close, twice swatting away balls labeled for corners. Before the half, the Cookie Monsters looked to be level. Keaton Dick sent in Owen Sunderland, who converted just a shade offside. The Polar Bears padded their lead early in the second. Jonathan Bielski raced down the right side, and whipped the ball in to Kaden Short for a onetouch goal. Mason Bueckert, Liam Heckrodt, and Cade Dempsey fortified the Monsters’ backline, and kept the Bears at bay. Ten minutes from time, Quinn Soon advanced the ball to Whibley at center, and he sprung Brandon Phillips who cracked one between the sticks for the biscuit beasts. With several girls away for club volleyball provincials, all U13 teams were playing with skeleton crews. The white and blue (Ice Breakers) coaches agreed to play 6 vs 6, resulting in a great game where the girls had lots of open space to dribblewith White winning 1-0. Ice Breaker newbie Mackenzie Palm played an excellent match, skillfully receiving several drop kicks and smartly distributing the ball with her fellow forwards to push the offence. First-half defenders Jennika Bobryk and Becky Herrick were a wall on the back end. The Ice Breakers started the second half down a goal and forward Kaylee Goodrich did her best to spark the offence, using some clever pull-backs and her speed to penetrate the defence. Late in the game, two sprawling saves by Herrick gave the Ice Breakers a fighting chance. The Printech Blue Steel overtook the Fairfield Inn & Suites 2-1 in U13 boys soccer. Blue Steel started off with a lob from Jared Ross to Zach Manthorne resulting in a goal. Fairfield came back in the second half with a goal but the Blue Steel once again took possession of the game with a give-and-go play between Manthorne and Ross with Ross scoring the winner. Blue Steel received firm defence from Liam Van Wyk and Stuart Kopy, midfield support from Griffin Fletcher, Travis Towers and Noah Clarke, and strong play from forwards Kristian Hovdebo and Ryan Ponipal.

Timber take showdown Morning Star Staff

The North Enderby Timber brushed off Turn-Key Controls 3-0 in North Okanagan Soccer League play Wednesday night at MacDonald Park. Both teams were 2-0 going into the early showdown. The NET veterans came to play with numerous newcomers out with injuries. NET opened the scoring in the 20th minute when Chris Ovens sent Danny Stein down the wing on a well placed through ball. Stein then slipped the ball through the defence to Brent Poulsen, who slipped the ball under the diving keeper. Poulsen then converted his second of the match in the last minute of the half when Dexter James and Mwiza Singogo played a nifty one-two in the midfield before Singogo Sent in Poulsen, who beat two defenders before putting the ball in the back of the net. Singogo and Poulsen then switched roles in the 75th minute when Poulsen slipped the ball to Singogo, who took one touch and beat the keeper low. Ean Ross made a couple of superb

diving saves to earn his third straight clean sheet and the Libra Love Boutique man of the match. Winless Peters Tirecraft and Monashee Surveying FC ran to a scoreless draw at Mac Park. Ageless Rob Spraggs, betrayed by a bad back, made a handful of huge saves to earn the Tin Man Man of the Match for Tirecraft. Roadrunner Andy Collins was stymied by Monashee keeper Ryan Sharp from eight yards out on a second-half breakaway. Axel Chinyanta was a general in the Monashee midfield as the surveyors enjoyed a slight advantage in possession. In other games, the Salmon Arm Outlaws ambushed the Revelstoke Stallions 4-0 at Blackburn Park, while the Salmon Arm Courvas clipped Nation of Domination Eagle Homes 2-1 at Jackson Sports Field. In next Wednesday night fixtures, Monashee takes on the Outlaws (1-2), while NET faces Courvas (3-0) at Mac Park. Tirecraft plays Revelstoke, while Turn-Key tangles with Eagle Homes, in Salmon Arm.

Controllers stop Impact Morning Star Staff

Two teams off to 0-2 starts rang up victories in the North Okanagan Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Soccer League Masters Division Tuesday night. The Goplen Controllers clipped the Longhorn/ Gray Monk Impact 1-0 at Marshall Field #2, while the Chick Kickers shut down Vernon Square Liquor Store VQA 2-0 at MacDonald Park. Melissa Henson blasted a shot on goal midway through the first half and an onrushing Karen Zupp buried the rebound far post for Goplenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner. Leah Mulvihill, Emma Louie, and Angela Durfeld worked hard up front to open up several scoring opportunities. Controllersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Player of the Match went to Shelley Henry, who was sensational as sweeper, reading the play well and consistently disrupting the Impactâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offence to help distribute the ball away from her keeper Michelle Wernicke. Player of the Match for the Impact was newbie Ashley Buechler of Kelowna. Jodi Hawthorne, Suzie Andrews and Alicia Mcreary sparkled in the middle of the park, while Dawn Lemiski was super subbing for regular keeper Derri Ann Cooper. The Chick Kickers and VQA went back and forth until the 24th minute when midfielder Michelle Johnson placed a corner to the head of Jen Kemper who nodded the ball far corner. Speedy strikers Jen Sorochuck and Jenny Garnett enjoyed solid chances in the final 45, but VQA keeper Karen Benn shut them down. Centre fullback Stephanie Curtis took the ball upfield, crossed centre and dished the ball to Sorochuck, who then passed off to Player of the Match Kelly Challen. Challen made a great run with control and hit a corker for insurance that Benn had no chance on. Goaltending duties were shared by four of the senior Chicks. Bold play also came from Holly Flinkman and Krista Maccagno. The amazing and tireless Jane Sutton kept the VQA defence clear in front of Benn most of the night, getting support from Rita Tedesco, Tania Willett, Shelly Johnston and Vicki Ryan. Midfielders and forwards Harmony Crockett, Cheryl Roddis, Sue Barss, Carly Bibby, Gail Atha, Ute Kintzel and Jen Hatten combined for some dangerous runs. Squires Four brushed off host Shuswap Merlot 3-0 at Salmon Arm Savings & Credit Union Sports Complex for their third straight win. Jacquie Hansen put the pub crew ahead on an assist from Deanna Baker and Marisa Weibe in the first half. Leah Frye kept the offence going with a nice run down the wing, cutting the ball back to Jill Rintoul, who converted a rocket. Lori Shippy added insurance on a nice feed from Deanna Baker. Lisa Arrotta recorded the shutout Striker Tori Feser showed great hustle in her debut with Squires. Bobbi Cormier, Melissa Wejr and Barb Levesque were dynamic on defence.

Vernon boys shine for Wild Morning Star Staff

Two Vernon players helped Team Wild topple Team Flyers 7-2 Sunday in the Male U16 B.C. Cup hockey final at the Shaw Centre in Salmon Arm. Defencemen Dylan Sedlacek (Tier 1 Sun Valley Source For Sports Vipers) and Powell Connor (Pursuit of Excellence, Kelowna) boosted the Wild to a 4-2 record in the five-team tournament. Vernon’s Coleton Bilodeau (POE) was a forward with the Bruins, who went 2-4. Connor pocketed one assist in the final and finished the Cup with three helpers. Sedlacek scored the winner as the Wild blanked the Sabres 2-0 and had a helper as the Wild lost 4-3 to the Flyers in preliminary play. The Wild allowed nine goals in six games. The next stage in the selection of Team B.C. will be the U16 Provincial Camp, July 15-19, in Nanaimo. A total of 40 players will be chosen to create two teams for the camp. The camp introduces high performance athletes to the most up to date information and concepts as they relate to both

national and international levels of hockey. Some notable players that have participated in the Male U16 BC Cup and gone to the NHL include: Curtis Lazar of Vernon (Ottawa Senators), Brett Connolly of Campbell River (Tampa Bay Lightning), Brandon McMillan of Delta, (Anaheim Ducks) and Brent Seabrook of Delta (Chicago Blackhawks. Meanwhile, the 2005 Kelowna Heat capped a 6-0 weekend to win the Alberta Champions Cup. The Heat went 4-0 in round-robin action by thumping the Prince Albert Junior Raiders and North Country Stars (Grande Prairie) by identical 13-1 scores, mauling the Medicine Hat Mustangs 6-1 and blanking the Calgary Xtreme 9-0. The Heat then beat the Northern Predators (Sask.) 6-5 in a hard-fought semi final. They ended their championship run with an 8-1 pounding of the Foothills Cowboys Elite (Calgary). Erik Pastro of Vernon led all Heat scorers with nine goals and 15 points. Austin Seibel of Coldstream posted a 2-0 record with one shutout, a 0.75 GAA and a .939 save percentage. The Heat are in a Kelowna tournament this weekend.

Cubs shut down Midget Canadians Morning Star Staff

The Kelowna Cubs shut down the Vernon Canadians 2-0 in B.C. Midget AAA Baseball League play on a windy Wednesday night at Marshall Field. Brayden Damini went seven innings on the Vernon mound, striking out nine and issuing two walks and two hits. Dylan Emmons was 1-for-3 with a double, while Garner Chudyk was 1-for-3 with a single. “We just are not getting any breaks,” said Canadians’ coach Ken Liefke. “Five losses have been been by one run. I can feel our luck is about to change; we are due for a big turnaround.” The injury-strapped Canadians went 0-for-4 on a weekend trip to the coast. Down to 10 men, the C’s lost 6-2 and 10-0 to the Ridge Meadows Royals Sunday at Albion Park after falling 2-1 and 11-1 to the Tri-Cities Indians Saturday at Heritage Woods Park. “I had to stick some of the boys in positions they are not used to playing,” said Liefke. “We had trouble getting our bats going. We hit the ball hard and unfortunately it was right at the other team. It seemed like there was 15 fielders out there at times.” Tyler Wellman pitched a complete game, allowing two earned runs and striking out four in Game 1 versus the Royals. Kyle Ciurka allowed six earned runs in Game 2 with Ethan

Huizinga mopping up. Landon Currie was 2-for-2 with a walk, while Koichiro Yano was 1-for-2. Tri Cities took the opener of Saturday’s twinbill with Emmons hurling 7 1/3 innings, allowing two runs and no walks while striking out a dozen. Emmons was 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and one run. Chudyk took the loss in Game 2 with Chris Riva going 2-for3. The C’s (2-10) visit Kamloops for a doubleheader Saturday at Canada Games Park against the Players Bench RiverDogs.

Vernon’s Garth Gartner Construction Ice Cold Pitches belted their way to top spot at a women’s D Provincial Championship slo-pitch qualifying tournament in Abbotsford. The two-day event featured 48 men’s and women’s teams, ranging from A to E divisions. The Pitches faced off against eight teams and, with their sizzling bats, destroyed their competition. Things started off in the tournament for the construction ladies with a tough 10-9 loss to the Abbotsford Vixens. After that, ICP never looked back, mercy-ruling the next two opponents by scores of 21-1 and 23-3. Sheila Martin helped clinch the second mercy by crushing a 275-foot home run bomb. After placing first in their roundrobin games, the Ice Cold Pitches again faced the Vixens, who were third in their pool. The Vernon squad, this time, came away with a 12-2 win which qualified ICP for the final against the Abbotsford Free Agents. Vernon won

MC College helps Nepal Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s own MC College is doing its part to raise support for victims of the Nepal earthquake. A massive earthquake struck near Kathmandu, Nepal recently, causing widespread devastation. To help, MC College is donating 50 per cent of all salon and spa proceeds from Tuesday to the Canadian Red Cross, Nepal Region Earthquake Fund. All eligible donations made by May 25 will also be matched by the federal government. “This earthquake struck in a highly populated area, resulting in a significant humanitarian impact,” said Hossam Elsharkawi, director of international emergencies and recovery for the Canadian Red Cross. “Shelter, water and health are urgent priorities and we continue to work with local authorities to make sure that people get the help they need.” Funds will be raised at all seven MC College locations across Canada, including Vernon. MC College Student Salon and Spa offers a wide range of services such as pedicures, microdermabrasions, artificial nails, highlights/lowlights and haircuts. All services are performed by students under the supervision of instructors. For a full list of services, visit: www.mccollege.ca.

Why You Need Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health and More... W. Gifford-Jones, MD

itamin C is arguably the single most important water soluble antioxidant in the human body. Antioxidants play a key role in protecting cells against free radicals, which can cause damage and play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases. It’s tragic that researchers are unaware that high doses of vitamin C and lysine cannot only prevent, but reverse atherosclerosis in coronary and other arteries in the body. Vitamin C is needed for the manufacture of collagen, the glue that holds cells together. A lack of vitamin C means poor collagen, resulting in cracks appearing between coronary cells thus setting the stage for fatal blood clot. Recently, Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, made this monumental discovery. He took photos of the retinal arteries and then gave patients 6,000 milligrams of vitamin C and 5,000 of lysine (lysine adds strength to coronary arteries just like steel rods increase the strength of concrete). A year later he repeated the pictures. To his surprise, he found atherosclerosis fading away.

The essential amino acid lysine is probably best known for its use in those with herpes simplex infections but several other benefits have been ascribed to the molecule, including favourable effects on blood pressure and stroke prevention but also a positive influence on mood and anxiety. In addition to providing healthy collagen production and a healthy cardiovascular system, vitamin C and lysine supplementation helps support: • Immune system health • Vision • Teeth and gums • Wound healing • Bones and cartilage • Recovery from shingles • Recovery from herpes outbreaks This is why I’ve been taking high doses of vitamin C and lysine for the last 16 years following a heart attack. I believe it saved my life. Medi-C Plus™, containing high doses of vitamin C and lysine, is available in powder and capsules.

Millions of North Americans also suffer from osteoarthritis. Without sufficient vitamin C to produce collagen, a major component of cartilage, bone eventually grinds on bone. There would be fewer joint replacements if more vitamin C were available to produce healthy collagen. Rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammatory type, also requires large doses of vitamin C. Every moment of the day our bodies are using oxygen to keep us alive. But oxidation results in metabolic ash, known as “free radicals”, which are believed to trigger an inflammatory reaction in joints. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to reduce damaging free-radicals. Patients often appear surprised when I tell them that vitamin C will help them keep their teeth a lifetime. By age 65 one in five North Americans has lost all their teeth and many of their teeth were normal. Rather, it was the gums that could no longer hold teeth firmly in place in part due to inadequate amounts of vitamin C. This vitamin is needed in large amounts to produce healthy collagen, the glue that holds cells together and keeps gums healthy. Without good mortar bricks fall apart and the same happens when gums lacking collagen lose their grip on teeth.

River and Stobie was along to supervise the operation. However, the Riske Creek store and saloon was only a short distance away and Stobie’s thirst caught up with him. He left the two Ken Mather men to their work and went for refreshment. When the men made camp that evening, there was no sign

Stobie had been clever enough to ride the old packhorse, Buckskin to the saloon, knowing that the wise old horse would bring him back to camp, no matter what state he was in, as long as he could stay in the saddle.

That evening, there was no sign of Stobie and Gillespie thought he must have headed back to Riske Creek. But, as he later recounted, “Somewhere in the small hours of the morning, I was nearly frightened out of my wits by the very irate Stobie grabbing and shaking me violently, swearing like a real cowboy and wanting to know why the ___ I hadn’t tied up that ___ Buckskin. I had tied up Buckskin, but that little horse knew that if you keep on pulling at a knot with your teeth, it sometimes comes undone and this one did. Some packhorses know as much as men.” Stobie’s long walk back to camp had sobered him up but not improved his disposition. Ken Mather is a Spallumcheen author.

has been appointed vice-principal of research at the University of B.C.’s Okanagan campus. A professor in the departments of neurology and neurosurgery and anatomy and cell biology at McGill University, Barker will lead UBC’s Okanagan research portfolio beginning August 1. “It is clear that the Okanagan is emerging as an important innovation hub and that UBC Okanagan is playing a significant role in the economic development of the region,” said Barker, who was raised in Kelowna. “I am excited to be joining the team at UBC Okanagan and of course, to be returning to Philip Barker Kelowna. The campus and the city are on an exciting trajectory and I am looking forward to working with students and faculty to help facilitate the next phase of development.” He is currently a James McGill Scholar and Canada Research Chair in molecular neuroscience at McGill University. Barker’s research lab has also published more than 100 scientific papers on signals that regulate life and death decisions in neurons and cancer cells. He co-founded a biotechnology company, holds several patents, and has developed and licensed several technologies. “We’re absolutely delighted to welcome such a distinguished researcher and experienced administrator to UBC Okanagan’s leadership team this summer,” said Deborah Buszard, UBC’s deputy vice-chancellor and principal of the Okanagan campus.

Shrek and friends let their freak flag fly Become a believer when Vernon’s Lights of Broadway brings the beloved ogre and his posse of fairytale characters to the stage Kristin Froneman Morning Star Staff

Like a certain Saturday Night Live alumnus, known for playing British rogue Austin Powers, Ernst Van Gameren has a knack for giving voice to some colourful characters, especially ones with Scottish accents. A longtime delivery driver for The Morning Star, Van Gameren’s talents come from watching a lot of cartoons as well as Austin Power movies, where he can match the thick brogue of that famously gluttonous character Fat Bastard (baby-back ribs, anyone?). Van Gameren also does a mean version of a certain green ogre, who like Fat Bastard is also voiced by Canadian comic Mike Myers. So when it came time for Van Gameren’s wife Charity, a local musical theatre/voice instructor who runs Vernon’s Lights of Broadway, to stage her annual musical, she knew just who to cast as her lead. Van Gameren will soon be unrecognizable as the lovable Scottish accented swamp dweller when Lights of Broadway presents Shrek The Musical at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre for four shows next week. “I’m completely Dutch, so I don’t know where I got it from,” said Van Gameren when asked how he got his talent for accent mimicry. “The kids get me to do voices for them all the time. I like the Scottish character Shrek the most. He’s a big, lumbering idiot. He tries to be mean and nasty and have nothing to do with people, but inside he’s a marshmallow.” Did we mention, Shrek sings in this show. Based on Dreamworks’ hit animated film, Shrek the Musical first appeared on the Great White Way in 2008. The Van Gamerens first saw the production when Vancouver’s Theatre Under the Stars produced it last summer. In fact, many of the costumes the Lights cast are wearing come from that production. “When you have a cast of 120 you have to get inventive,” said Charity. “This has myths, fairytales and nursery rhymes all coming to life. The kids are so excited to do the fai-

Judy Mori

Lord Farquaad (Steve Friesen, left), Princess Fiona (Sydney Cochrane), Shrek (Ernst Van Gameren) and Donkey (Megan Barss) join all the fairyland creatures for Lights of Broadway’s Shrek the Musical at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre May 7 to 9. rytale characters.” A full-blown musical with numbers that run the gamut from traditional show theatre to the blues, with titles such as Freak Flag and the anthem I’m A Believer (the only song in the musical that comes from the original film), there’s even a tap number, with all the dance choreographed by Cherise McInnis. “We spoof a lot of music genres. There’s (baritone crooner) Barry White, a western spoof on Wicked, and odes to Gypsy, Dreamgirls, and even A Christmas Carol,” said Dr. Steven Friesen, who plays vertically challenged bad guy Lord Farquaad. For those who have seen the films, Shrek actually puts a spin on those fairytales and features satirical humour – through parody, one liners and sarcasm – that has made it a hit with all ages. “The musical features slight differences in the story, but is really faithful to the

See your home in a

movie,” said Megan Barss, who plays the talkative Donkey, made famous in the film by the voice of Eddie Murphy. “This is physical comedy, which is different from what I’m comfortable with. I’ve been working on his voice, how it goes up and down, and the energy. There’s a lot of preparation. It’s Eddie Murphy, who’s amazing, so people are expecting a lot.” Like the film, there are love interests for the two main characters. In the musical, Donkey is once again burned then wooed by the amorous Dragon, which is played in the production by a giant pink and purpleheaded puppet, courtesy of Theatre Under the Stars. Then there’s Princess Fiona, who is hiding a big secret, which includes a very quick makeup and costume change for Sydney Cochrane. “She brings a voice of reason to Shrek’s

Whole New Light

life,” said Cochrane. “She’s a great character, and is fun to play. She’s a strong lady and has a beautiful, hopeless romantic side.” Standing at about three-and-a-half-feet tall, with prosthetic legs attached, Friesen, says he is getting used to walking around on his knees, and describes Farquaad, the fairytale creatures’ arch nemesis, “as an evil child with a large chip on his shoulders.” “He sings about having daddy issues, which plays on the fairytale of Grumpy and the Seven Dwarfs. His mother was the princess of Princess and the Pea.” Other notable characters include the Gingerbread Man “Gingy”, played here by Ariel Klim, who also takes on the Sugar Plum Fairy. “I have to figure out two different voices. They have a split personality: Gingy has this high pitched voice and the Sugar Plum Fairy is in a lower register,” said Klim, who uses a hand puppet for her edible character. “Kids come up to me to see Gingy. They know all my lines.” Nelya McDowell has her own appendage to get used to as Pinocchio. “He’s whiny and complaining about how he is not a real boy. And then there’s his nose growing. He describes it as a glandular condition.” With Sarah Mori Jones as acting coach, the cast has been able to work on character development, important in the show’s underlying theme of friendship, self-acceptance, and sticking together when times are tough. “She really makes you think of what the characters are thinking... You come to realize what a hermit Shrek is and why his friendship with Donkey is so important. Then there’s Fiona’s feelings about being locked away and why she is tormented. “It’s been fun to watch all these characters develop over nine months,” said Charity. Also important to the production is the set, which goes from a swamp to a castle, designed by Liza and Mark Judd. “All sides of the stage are full. Part of the magic is seeing all of it come together behind the scenes,” said Friesen. Like the song goes, it’ll have your freak flag flying. Shrek the Musical takes the stage at the Vernon Performing Arts Centre Thursday, May 7 to Saturday, May 9. Curtain opens nightly at 7 p.m. with a Saturday matinée at 2 p.m. Tickets are at the Ticket Seller, and cost is $30 for adults and $27 for students and seniors.

Film shines from golden performances

woman in Gold

aria Altmann (Helen Mirren) and her inexperienced lawyer Randol Schoenberg (Ryan Reynolds) sue the Austrian government for illegally possessing paintings belonging to her family. Stolen by the Nazis during the Second World War, among the collection are priceless works by Gustav Klimt,

including Woman in Gold. Based on a true story, we say “Woman in Gold is nearly perfect.” TAYLOR: Maria Altmann, if the movie is to be believed, was a tough, outspoken woman who despite her rights and proclivities, would rather not step into the limelight to discuss old wounds.

Reel Reviews

Taylor and Howe

She is a complicated human being. Helen Mirren plays her perfectly. However, she’s also surrounded by a fine, deep cast. Ryan Reynolds, although as guilty as everyone in this film for laying it on a little thick occasionally, is at his most believable. Katie Holmes, as his wife, has a tiny part, three-to-five minutes, but is strong. Daniel Bruhl is awesome as per usual. If someone is speaking in this movie, you’ve seen them before: Elizabeth McGovern, Antje Traue, Charles Dance, the list goes on. HOWE: I thought this movie was fantastic. It has been a good few months since I have seen something decent on the big

screen and Woman in Gold proves that you don’t need to throw millions into a movie to make it special. It reminds me of a film from a couple of years ago, Philomena with Dame Judi Dench, not the story itself but the way the film unfolds. It is a very bleak, dark story but dotted with little oneliners to put a smile on your face and the acting is top-notch. Mirren is as classy as always, but it was Reynolds that I was most impressed with. He has come a long way since his role in the turkey Green Lantern. TAYLOR: The film dwells a bit, sort of obviously deliberate. There’s a great deal of talent. It’s an emotional topic with built-in tension. When you have beautiful Vienna and a good soundtrack you don’t need to stare at Reynolds’ wet eyes. Setting a serious tone is one thing, but Woman in Gold tries a little too hard at points. I feel this is a result of trying

E1 Films

Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds give outstanding performances in Woman in Gold. to make a dark film light, with quite a bit of humour while still hanging on to the tragedy and heartstrings that are eminently pluckable. So when we flashback to Altmann’s darker memories, we must go from light to dark quickly. I don’t blame the filmmakers

for seeking balance, it just isn’t very smooth. I’ll dock a mere half point for that, because it truly is a very good film, with excellent performances. HOWE: Director Simon Curtis brought us My Week with Marilyn, which was a great film a few years back, but to me this

is a far superior film. Woman in Gold had the emotions running through me: happy, sad, smiling and tearing up. It’s everything I want from a film, for that I cannot dock points. Taylor gives Woman in Gold 4.5 palette knives out of 5. Howe gives it 5 cellos out of 5.

Dixie rises in Farr country

Tyler Farr: Suffer in Peace n his second album, Suffer In Peace, singer/songwriter Tyler Farr is doing his damndest to make sure that ol’ Dixie rises again. Farr is one of the more modern and charismatic singers out of Nashville in a decade or so. His Dean Gordon-Smith nasty take on country grunge on C.O.U.N.T.R.Y. and Better in Boots has trashy appeal that owes more to dirt road honky tonks than the Grand Ole Opry. Minus the clichéd titles, they’re earthy bits of

sTReeT sounds

country-rock fusion. Farr has a great voice for tough sounds and he wisely or instinctively keeps distance between “aw shucks” tearjerkers and his material. Like any good country boy he’s gotta get serious about something. He takes a realistic look at bingeing and love in vain on I Don’t Even Want This Beer. Farr elicits empathy, not sympathy, and the dark-edged ballad lays bare his plight. In accordance with the keepin’ it real spirit of Suffer In Peace, Farr brings us some de rigueur autobiographical slices of Dixie life (Raised to Pray and Poor Boy). They’re just southern slices of Americana with traditional overtones of melodrama.

It wouldn’t be a real country album if it didn’t have a sentimental ballad or a barroom anthem. Why We Live Here and Suffer in Peace are opposite ends of the ballad spectrum. Why We Live Here regresses to stereotypical baseball, Bibles, hot dogs and Chevrolet imagery and the other track is a contemplative acoustic track. Let’s just say that one of the songs is more relatable. A Guy Walks Into a Bar is a solid gold modern country song in between an anthem and a ballad. It’s got sentiment but is redeemed by a stripped down arrangement and a candid vocal hook. Farr’s everyman persona is audible in his delivery and gives the track down-home magic.

Vernon art gallery hosts OPT jurors’ tour The Vernon Public Art Gallery is hosting a jurors’ tour of its international print exhibition, Saturday at 1 p.m. Led by VPAG curator Lubos Culen and UBCO associate professor of printmaking Briar Craig, the public can enjoy a presentation covering traditional and contemporary methods of printmaking, such as lithography, a question and answer session, and a guided exhibition tour of Okanagan Print Triennial. “The sole idea behind organizing the Okanagan

Finding joy all through the journey Liz Glover’s deep faith in God helped in her recovery from a nearfatal accident and provides the inspiration for her first book Katherine MortiMer Morning Star Staff

Katherine MortiMer/Morning Star

Liz Glover shares her story of a near-fatal accident and recovery in Feeling the Warmth of God’s Love. room to have her ruptured spleen removed. During surgery, she feels herself floating above the operating table, observing. “I really wish to return to earth and for my chance to be a mother...I wish my turn at seeing my children’s little smiling faces. I wish to have little birthday parties and to introduce them to God, the Tooth Faith, Cupid, the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus. I wish to help them learn to read and to use their imaginations. But most of all, I wish to pass on all the patience, kindness and love that my grandmother has always shown to me.” But Glover has a long road ahead of her. Her ribs are fractured, an artery in her heart continues to leak blood into her stomach cavity. She is known as a closed head injury victim and is in unstable condition with massive internal injuries. In a coma, she is put on life support and clinging to life. She battles pneumonia three times and her lung collapses. She is on a roller coaster ride that takes her from stable to critical and back again. After 18 days in a coma, Glover wakes up and learns that doctors believe she will never speak and will never walk again. But she begins rehabilitation determined to prove

them wrong. “When I woke up from the coma, I could only move my eyelids, but I saw my Gram, and our hearts were connected. She was the most beautiful lady you’d ever meet.” Glover’s long road to recovery began and, while she has never regained the physical strength she once had, she has her speech and she has the ability to walk and is not reliant on medications to function. “All your dreams and aspirations are gone and there are battles that you have to overcome and it becomes like a game. I was always pretty content prior to the accident, but you are given life with a set of cards and they all have to be played.” And when she got married May 5, 1990, Glover’s dream of motherhood was suddenly within reach. Daughter Kaitlyn was born in 1991 and her son Bob in 1995. Glover worried about caring for an infant. Without the strength in her hands and arms, she was concerned about supporting a baby’s head. “But you work through everything and you find ways to do everything. “But I know that’s why I came back after

When Liz Glover won the chance to carry the Olympic torch in 1987, it was a dream come true for the young woman who loved the outdoors and had yet to find a sport she didn’t enjoy. Less than a month later, a near-fatal car accident took away everything she loved and she began the long road to recovery and a new life. Glover shares her story in her memoir, Feeling the Warmth of God’s Love. It was Jan. 24, 1988 and Glover, then 26, was on her way to work in Fingal, Ont., unaware that it had rained the previous night, creating a sheet of ice underneath freshly fallen snow. Rounding a corner, her 1984 Hyundai Pony spun out of control and collided with a tree, the trunk coming directly into contact with the driver’s side door. “The night before the accident, I was praying and told God that I was fine and that he could take the next day off,” she said. At the time, Glover was working parttime in a group home for people who are mentally challenged. She lived with her beloved Gram, and her parents and five siblings lived near by. “I had filled out 100 of those cards at Petro-Canada for the chance to carry the Olympic torch as it made its way to Calgary for the ‘88 Olympics. This was no doubt the greatest highlight of my life so far. I had the world by the tail, and I was just coming into my own as well. “Who else would say to the creator of the universe, ‘I’ll be OK, you can take the day off.’ “As my car was going out of control, I was praying again, ‘Dear Lord Jesus, I need to back out of giving You the day off. Please come back I really need Your help!’ After being rushed by ambulance to St. Joseph’s Hospital in London, Ont., Glover is quickly assessed and taken to the operating

my accident, to be a mom — I know God was with me all the time. “I know for a fact, and my journey proves it beyond any doubt, that God was, God is and God will always be here with me.” Glover left Ontario for Vernon when her now ex-husband found work out here. Once the decision was made to relocate, she never looked back. “I wasn’t worried, as I just figured this is the next part of the adventure, that there is a reason for everything. I’ve never lived in the past, so this was meant to be. I don’t like to go back.” Glover wasted no time in her new community. Unable to work full time since her accident, she started volunteering at Silver Star elementary school, which both of her children attended. “It takes me such a long time to do what most people can do very quickly and I don’t have the strength in my arm. My children were always great and understanding as they knew what I could and couldn’t do.” She loves her two days a week at Silver Star, something she has continued long after her children have left school. “It’s just fabulous and the teachers are just amazing there. I do my rounds, I have a box and when teachers need help with photocopying or laminating, it goes into my box and I help out the whole school.” And it was thanks to those same teachers at Silver Star that saw the publication of Glover’s first book. She gives credit to Grade 2 teacher Lynne Whiskin, who edited the book for her, and retired Grade 6 teacher Sandi Simpson. “I thought about writing a book when I was still back in Ontario, and I thought maybe this would turn into a good story. I started with a capital letter and the odd period but no paragraphs or other punctuation. “Lynne helped a lot with that, and I knew there was a way to get this published but I was told it was too expensive, so Sandi found me a publisher in Kelowna.” Glover’s favourite time to write is between 11:30 p.m. and 2:30 a.m., when the house is quiet. “I wrote it so that anyone in the same situation, or in any situation, could read it and pick up inspiration and encouragement and to not give up.” To order a copy of Feeling the Warmth of God’s Love, call Glover after 5 p.m. at 250542-9552 or text her anytime.

Injured or just sore? soreness. And decide how to proceed. The fancy term used for having sore muscles after starting a new sport or working out really hard is “DOMS.” It’s an acronym for “Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness,” and can happen after you perform a physical activity that you are not used to or through certain types of muscle contractions (usually eccentric). And yes — it can even make it painful to laugh and make it hard to get around. The origins of this type of soreness are complex but it is a well-studied phenomenon. One of the most common misconceptions is that it is due to an accumulation of lactic acid, but it has been proven wrong. The generally accepted

spine & sport

Virginie Pichard-Jolicoeur theory is that the soreness would be from microscopic damage to the muscles and that the lactic acid isn’t part of the process. Everybody is susceptible to developing DOMS. However, the severity of the soreness tends to lessen as your body adapts and the activity is performed on a regular basis. So what does DOMS feel like? It is usually a dull, aching pain in the muscle and it can be accompanied by some stiffness and tender-

ness. It usually appears 24 hours post exercise, is known to peak after 24 to 72 hours and shouldn’t last more then a few days (three to seven days maximum). Often the symptoms will lessen during activity but will likely reappear after the exercise, during that three-toseven-day period. Light activity should not impair your recovery. However, if you find that your symptoms are making the activity too painful or difficult to perform, it is advisable to refrain from this specific activity until the symptoms subside. Pain occurring during an exercise may signal a problem with the exercise you are performing (is it too intense? Is the technique used appropriate)?

If you experience a sudden onset of pain in a specific area or a snapping, clicking or popping accompanied by pain, you should stop exercising. A sharp, burning, numbing, tingling, shock-like pain is not a normal pain to be experienced during or after an exercise. Can I do anything to avoid it? Yes! One of the key components in any physical activity program is progression. Progressing slowly into a new activity, or progressively getting back into an activity after the winter is crucial. It allows your muscles to adapt and is likely to help minimize the severity of DOMS...and minimize your risk of injury! Even if it is not proven to be effective in preventing DOMS, a proper warm-up is essential before any physical activity. You should do an activity that allows your body temperature to rise for 10 to 15 minutes before any strenuous activity. So, after reading all of this and if the pain you are experiencing doesn’t sound like DOMS, do not wait to check in with your physiotherapist. They can assess your condition and determine your injury. Then plan proactive treatment, so you can pursue your activities safely and optimize your performance! Virginie PichardJolicoeur is a physiotherapist at North End Spine & Sports.

Question of the Week

The SE EcoBoost package ($1,600) adds fog lamps, a rear spoiler, a full body styling kit, and 17-inch machined alloy wheels. The Winter Package ($700 – not that I really put it to good use at this time of year) adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, all weather floor mats and a power/heated mirror. While visibility is pretty good from all angles, the Reverse Sensing System ($700) can always lend a helping hand. Overall, I quite liked this sedan. The Focus is comfortable, compact and certainly has a convenient engine size for the city. When considering the Focus with the 1.0L EcoBoost, it’s only available on the SE trim (MSRP of $18,849) and comes as part of the aforementioned EcoBoost package ($1,600.) The price as tested on this vehicle comes in at $23,315 (which includes the $1,565 destination charge.) Write to alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Euro-style crossover is roomy and thrifty at the pump By Bob McHugh

Euro styling, thrifty fuel economy, an extra roomy interior and good value features make the Nissan Rogue stand out in the hugely popular compact utility market segment. The first generation Rogue was voted `best new vehicle in class` by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC), when introduced for the 2008 model year. Good consumer reliability ratings and excellent crash safety performance have helped make Rogue a solid and smart used vehicle choice. It`s also typically priced a little lower than more established competitors from Honda or Toyota ... another plus for prospective used Rogue buyers. We join Rogue`s first-generation product life story in 2011 when it got a styling refresh inside and out, and a new SV mid-range trim level was added to the model line. Rogue originally came in just S and SL trim levels. The S and SV trims can come with front-drive or all-wheel drive and a top-line SL is strictly all-wheel drive. The newer SV trim adds (compared to an S trim) 17-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, privacy glass, a polished stainless steel exhaust tip, a backup monitor, dual vanity mirrors, a cargo cover, heated seats, a CD stereo with

Nissan’s Xtronic CVT (continuously variable transmission) uses adaptive logic control to adjust gear ratios to different driving situations and driver demands.

Rogue’s rear independent multilink suspension is also interesting. In addition to offering a better ride than a conventional strut type suspension it’s a more compact design, which allows more rear cargo space inside a Rogue.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder WHAT IS EAST’S TRICKTWO DISCARD? Paul Graham, an English computer programmer and venture capitalist, said, “If you imagine someone with 100 percent determination and 100 percent intelligence, you can discard a lot of intelligence before they stop succeeding. But if you start discarding determination, you very quickly get an ineffectual and perpetual grad student.” Too true - so in today’s deal, have a determined effort to see the winning play. South is in four spades. West leads the heart ace and continues with the heart king. What should East discard? North’s three-spade rebid was aggressive. His heart honours were

surely worthless, and his partner denied positive values when he failed to jump to two spades. But South, once invited, had no hesitation in bidding game. This deal occurred during a North American Mixed Pairs Championship in the 1950s. East was Helen Sobel. She realized that her husband had to have club values. So she “discarded” a spade at trick two and shifted to a club, giving her side the first four tricks. Since this deal happened so long ago, West had actually led the heart king and continued with his ace. After the deal, Al Sobel said, “Thank you for ruffing my ace, partner.” Note that if East does discard, say, a club at trick two, declarer

with careful play can take 10 tricks: five spades, three diamonds and two heart ruffs in the dummy. Phillip Alder is combining in May 2016 with Kalos to run a bridge and golf river cruise starting from Bordeaux, France. Details are available on Phillip’s website: www. phillipalderbridge.com

Yukihiko Miki 1925 – 2015 Dad, better known as Jim, passed peacefully in the compassionate care of Hospice House April 24 just a few months short of his 90th birthday. The fifth of seven children, he was born in Whonnock, BC and spent his early years there on his family’s berry farm. As in any long, welllived life he had his share of good times and hard times. During the war years Dad’s family was forced to leave their coastal home and were sent to southern Alberta where they worked the sugar beet fields. After the war, Dad lived briefly in Ontario and then returned to Alberta where he met and married a wild, red-haired girl named Joy. He worked as a mechanic, did long-distance hauling and eventually acquired his own truck. In the sixties he moved his family to the Okanagan Valley, a place he’d always wanted to live. He continued as a mechanic, often working away from home in logging camps, and qualified as a heavy duty mechanic. This led the way to a job with Consumers Glass where he worked in fork lift maintenance until he retired. Dad lost our mother in 1982 and a few years later sold the small Bella Vista acreage where we kids had grown up. He bought a condo, took up golf and was a regular at Hillview, often playing twice a day, and began to travel, visiting China, South America, the Arctic, the Panama Canal, anywhere his fancy took him. Our family thanks Dr. Long and his staff, the nurses and support workers at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, and everyone at Hospice House for their wonderful care of Dad. A special note of appreciation also goes out to the staff and residents at Canterbury Court where dad was so content in his final years. Dad requested no service but, if you so wish, a donation in his memory to the North Okanagan Hospice Society would be appreciated. Or just pull on your cowboy boots and head out to an auction or a garage sale. Dad would get a kick out of that.
